As part of our comprehensive literacy program at Lakewood Montessori Middle School, we are developing a series of book clubs aimed at targeting students who would benefit from academic enrichment. The purpose of our Book Club is to expose children to exceptional literature, to cultivate in students the explicit mental habits of analyzing writing as they read it, and to promote the skills necessary for productive group discussion about intellectually stimulating topics. We have identified _ as a student with a great deal of potential to grow as a reader through our book club program.
Students will be participating in the once a week book club during their lunch and recess. Similar to literature circles in the classrooms, students will be given several options for the text. While LMMS will provide a copy of the book to each student, we encourage parents to purchase a copy for their student so they can write on the pages and keep the copies for themselves. Copies supplied by the school will be considered library loans and must be returned in good condition.
The first meeting of the book club will be during the week of October 30th- November 3rd. If you have any questions about this book club, please contact Katy Vance.
